FLIP DOWN FENCE
Use the flip down fence when cutting thin stock that might
normally slide underneath the regular rip fence or in which the
blade guard would normally interfere with the fence to make the
desired cut.
To utilize this flip down feature for small, narrow cuts, you MUST
slide the flip down part of the fence underneath the blade guard,
so that the blade is still covered safely by the blade guard. Please
see Figure 55. Subtract 2 inches from the scale for accurate
measurement.
PUSH BLOCK
Push blocks are blocks used to securely hold down the workpiece
against the table. They include some gripping surface or handle to
hold the block. Any screws running through the underside of the
block to fasten the handle should be recessed in order to avoid
contact with the workpiece.
1.
Select a piece of wood about 4 inches wide, 6 inches long
and 1 to 2 inches thick (a cutoff from a 2 by 4 makes a
good blank for a push block).
2.
Drill a hole in the block and glue in a dowel to use as
a handle (you can angle the hole to provide a more
comfortable grip on the handle).
3.
Glue a piece of rough or soft material such as sandpaper
or rubber to the bottom of the block to grip the workpiece
(old mouse pads work well). See Figure 56.
